Alexis's Hair Cut

Alexis got her hair trimed yesterday. About 6-7in taken off! But it looks really good and thick now. Daddy was shocked when we got home. Don't tell him but I almost had a heart attack at Danae's when she cut it and it shrunk up because of the natural wave..It will grow out better now right!

Karen's Birthday

Karen's Birthday Adventure.. First a stop to get her make-up done..
Then we meet up with the girls of the hour and off we go to Target for appetizer..See you would have to understand that the day and evening was based around Karen picking numbers which corresponded with a place to go. Target was the first stop off to Bahamma breeze for dinner-Don't we look great!-
Time for a photo shoot..Let me tell you each of us at least took 3 photos before we liked one. OK I lied Jess and I took 5 or 6..

Good Photo

Here is your "Good Photo" Jess and Karen...

Dinner Party

When you tell some of your friends you are having an interactive dinner party..Watch out..They have NO idea what's in store. We thought it would be a fun idea to have an "Iron Chef" dinner party. Well some people didn't have any idea what that was (it's a food network show). The catch the men were split into two teams and the women judged. The surprise ingredient that all 4 dishes they needed to come up with had to have as the star...Well just wait until you see the photo's. Here are some of the highlights..
Everyone wondering what they are doing..No not fear factor Jess...
The teams in uniform!
The surprise ingredient..APPLES
15 minutes to plan..
60 Minutes to cook and 2 Life Lines..They are men after all..
Time to Judge..No Karen there is no cinnamon in that.. Sorry Christine no photo's of you and I eating :)


And the winners are...
The "Super White Iron CHIEF Spoon" goes to..Mike and John...Yes that says chief not chef..My error...They did feel like chiefs after that accomplishment though..
Hope to have another contest soon...It was fun!

Alexis's Birthday

So for those of you who don't think I post quick enough I'm posting these on Alexis birthday, the same day the pictures were taken!


It's a cookie Party! I gave each kid two scoops of cookie mix and full reign of bowls of sprinkles, chips and colored sugar-they all made such wonderful art..And a big mess..Good thing for the roll up and toss table cloth yah and "some people" made the kids wash their hands before they started I thought it was half the fun to share germs!
Told you they were nice works of art!.....The photo's you are about to see may not be for all audiences..In fact they may be a little graphic..


OK now back to the party!! Here is the play-By-Play of the cookie cake..
And one more picture just for the fun of it.. Here is Alexis at her school party..Just one more 'cause its cute!

Look at her!

Look at this baby starting to walk..She is sooo proud of her self she can hardly stand it!Maybe it's because we are all on the side lines clapping and making a bunch of noise..You know how it is! Did you see Hope has enough hair now to put into pig tails!



Give this baby a slice of pizza and look at her! These are the pictures that stay with me forever. I can't get enough of a messy baby. I guess it's because if I ever have a neat child (Lord knows I wouldn't) I could use these pictures against them later in life..

My Birthday Party

This year for my Birthday I wanted to get together with my friends and just have a relaxing time! With the moving and grooving of the holiday it was a well deserved chill out time. We had fondue fun movies and lots of sweet treats, well that is except for Jess who needed to bring her sugar free candy and roasted beans! I would have made her leave them at the door except for they were good and she ate real sugar too..
It was so good to have new and old friends spend this time together its something that should happen a lot more then it does. I'm sorry for my buds who couldn't make it! Don't worry we will have another party soon..Knowing me:)
